ROHM has developed a new generation of 14nm Atom processor power management ics for Intel's tablet platform

     ROHM announced the start of mass production and sale of the Power management IC(hereinafter referred to as "PMIC") "BD2613GW". Developed for Intel's tablet platform with the new generation of 14nm Atom processors, the product's high level of integration facilitates ultra-thin tablets and its industry-leading power conversion efficiency facilitates lower power consumption.

     "The BD2613GW is a successor to the BD2610GW, which started mass production last year," said Takahiro Ota, head of ROHM LSI's product Strategy Division. It is not only a necessary power system for the tablet platform of Intel's Atom™ processor Z3700 series, but also integrates the system control and monitoring functions needed to work with the processor. The package is the same as the previous products, which are packaged in WLCSP. "This product achieves the industry's highest level of installation area miniaturization and cost optimization, making it the best PMIC for Android and Windows tablets."

     Tom Shewchuk, director of tablet component Support at Intel, said: "For tablet products, how to achieve good power management is a very important issue. "I am very pleased to have been able to work with ROHM to develop a powered tablet platform for our next generation Atom™ processor."

     ROHM has been leading the industry with the latest semiconductor technology in the areas of system LSI, discrete components and module products. In order to continue to be at the forefront of the electronic components industry to provide customers with the latest technology, ROHM uses unique production systems that incorporate the most advanced automation technology. In the future, ROHM will continue to be a vertically integrated company for customers in consumer equipment, automotive, industrial equipment and other sectors, using a cost-effective approach to develop highly customized products quickly and efficiently.
